As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime - ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent's chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn't even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar - to harm your opponent's positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you're far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
